Description
The Church of St Paul is a church built between 1910 and 1912 by architects Nicholson and Corlette. It features slate rubble walls with granite and bath stone dressings. The church has a gable-ended slate roof over the nave and chancel, with lean-to roofs over the aisles. The layout includes a nave, north and south aisles, a north chapel with a tower in the northeast corner, and a vestry to the south of the chancel. There is a porch at the west end of the north side of the north aisle.
All the windows are designed in the Decorated style, featuring reticulated tracery, with three windows in each aisle. The tower, which is slightly set back from the northeast corner, has three stages, prominent granite quoins, and battlements. A foundation stone from 1910 is located at its base. The vestry projects to the south of the chancel, and the porch at the northwest corner has an arched doorway.
Inside, the church is relatively plain except for the painted roofs. The interior is completely lined with Ham Hill stone, and the piers of the very tall four-bay arcades are also made of this stone in the Perpendicular style. The chancel arch is plain. The wagon roofs over the nave and chancel, as well as the flat roofs over the aisles, are elaborately painted in red, white, and black, with gilded bosses. The original seats in the nave have not survived.
